Adjustable Height Mini Photo Backdrop Stand (Remix)

A simple remix of "Photo Sweep Stand infinity backdrop" by mistertech https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1671168 This was perfect for my photogrammetry setup, but I needed it to be taller, while still printable on a small print bed size. So I cut it up into 3 pieces that interlock together. Now you can just print as many of the middle pieces as you need to make this work for taller backdrops, tho I imagine it would get unstable past a certain height. Since the clearances need to be very tight, I've included a much smaller "test" piece that can be quickly printed to make sure this will work for your printer. Just print two of them, and adjust the model/your printer settings if needed. Minimal supports are needed. The built-in spring on the clamp seems to be enough to hold the backdrop. Just mirror the top and bottom pieces in your slicer for the right side. One to three middle pieces should be enough for each side, depending on how tall you need the final assembly to be. This seems to work especially well for those foam backdrops that come with small cheapo foldable lightboxes available online.
